Special objects

  • terminal object: singleton space
  • initial object: empty space
  • products: direct product with the product topology (which is compact by the Tychonoff product theorem)
  • coproducts: Stone-Čech compactification of the disjoint union with the disjoint union topology (in the finite case, the disjoint union is already compact Hausdorff so Stone-Čech compactification is not necessary)

Special morphisms

  • isomorphisms: homeomorphisms
  • monomorphisms: injective continuous maps (which are automatically closed embeddings)
  • epimorphisms: surjective continuous maps (which are automatically quotient maps)
  • regular monomorphisms: same as monomorphisms
  • regular epimorphisms: same as epimorphisms
